Product Description

Editorial Review

For use with any Nikko radio control vehicle requiring a 7.2-volt battery pack, this set comes complete with a four-hour quick charger. If you plan to give this battery and recharger with a radio control gift, be aware that you must charge the battery prior to its first use. The charger requires a standard 110/120-volt wall outlet away from any source of fire. According to the manufacturer, the battery can be recharged up to 1,000 times for plenty of play. A written warranty guarantees that Nikko will replace the battery pack free of charge if it proves to be defective in material or workmanship within one year from the date of original consumer purchase. --Liane Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Battery - Really Long Charge Time, December 28, 2000

This review is from: 7.2V NiCd Battery Pack and Charger (Toy)

This is a pretty good RC Car battery. It has been very dependable and I have gotten a lot of good use out of it. My old Nikko buggy works great with this battery (and since it's engine is pretty small I get about 30+ min of run time). The 4-hour recharge with their enclosed recharger is awful - why they call that a quick-charger is beyond me!

You can also go with other 7.2v stick packs from alternate manufactures so you can get a longer run time. You can find other batteries at ... This Nikko battery is a 1500 mAh battery (more mAh are better since it will increase run time). You will also probably need a charger to go with a different brand of battery but the phone support at Tower is great and they can point you in the right direction. I would recommend the Duratrax Piranah 1800mAh battery ... and the Duratrax piranah peak power charger ... [there are cheaper chargers available] (note this charger can probably charge all of your other 7.2v nicad car battery packs - more quickly and more precisely). You might also want to check out Amazon Auctions to get some batteries/charger a little less expensively!

Have fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not your average size 7.2v battery stick pack!, October 10, 2006

I just wanted to point out that Nikko #1372 is not your average size 7.2v stick pack as pictured by Amazon. It is actually a "AA" size 7.2v battery pack and charger for the Nikko Twist N Turn vehicle and other similar r/c cars that require a "AA" 7.2 stick pack. This one comes with a smaller plug so it will not fit standard r/c vehicles that require a 7.2v sub-C stick pack without an adapter. I just wanted to point this out for anyone looking to purchase this item. You can get an adapter from certain places like Radio Shack to use with a standard plug.

Maybe Nikko at first years ago used this item number for a regular 7.2v stick pack and charger but as of October 2006, the item purchased directly from Amazon.com is a "AA" size 7.2v pack and charger.

UPDATE: I now notice that Amazon is no longer directly selling this item. They possibly could have it corrected through other vendors selling via their site but I would recommend you verify the product before ordering.
